Standard jdm early gen3 tt manifold, slightly different to the audm version, i think the aussie ones have different injectors and a different map sensor arrangment, but otherwise the same.

Strip all the accessories off

Clean it thoroughly and mask off he gasket surfaces, injector holes, vacuum ports and bolt holes. I washed it with a scourer in ordinary car wash liquid, then went over it in metho with a rag. Its very important that it is clean before painting.

You must use an etch primer on the bare metal first

Then spray on a few coats of the wrinkle paint. Its pretty interesting stuff, it kind of fizzes as you spray it which creates the wrinkle patterns, the heavier u coat it, the more it fizzes which makes the wrinkle effect more pronounced.

Done! hard to see properly with the camera, but it looks pretty mega!
